Hi,

Ive accidently busted one of the arms on the glove box when it drops down.
Is it going to be expensive to replace? Do they have to replace the whole
glove box? I could take it out and glue it back on I guess but I noticed the
airbag is right above it, If I took the glove box out it doesnt affect that
in anyway does it?

Cheers

Matt
 
no, but be careful
it can be done by removing the side screws at the back under the upright
carpet bit
there r other screws but u should be able to see where else it is fixed,
once the back pair r undone

You can unclip the lid and replace the arm. It doesn't look as if the arm is
removable but it is.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Is it a case of just pulling the arm out and gluing a
new one in? I see the black pins holding the front on at the bottom but cant
see a way of removing the vynal front from the plastic inside. Also is it
something the vauxhall dealer would get hold of or would they want me to
replace the whole glove box ? :)

Many thanks

Matt
 
I cannot remember how you remove the lid from the car but I think the pin on
one side slides back like a door bolt.

Once out the retaining strap unplugs from the lid. You do not have to
dismantle the lid. It looks like a rectangular moulding mark around where
the strap joins the lid but it does come out!

All you do then is plug the replacement strap into the hole.
